Rounding out the Top 100 Wines of the Year

The heady aroma is both powerful and pretty with notes of fennel, purple flowers and blossom mingling with ripe, varietal purple fruits and black pepper. The oak is hardly evident which allows fruit and soil complexities to emerge with edges of rhubarb and red mulberry and savoury characters of dried herbs, game and spice. The palate opens with anise, black pepper, graphite and restrained dark cherries before it gives way to seductive mulberry, plum, licorice and spice.

Hi @wineanana -- a while back we included a "view as one page" link at the bottom of all the slideshows to help solve for this preference (for this article, it's actually three pages, not one). Hope it helps.

Fantastic choice - Costanti Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. This, the 2006, will be good, but the reserva, which should be out by now, will be even better. Two or three more years in the barrel, I think. I have loved this wine from this producer ever since I first tasted their 1978 in 1992. I have the 1990 and 1996 in my cellar right now.

Yes, a SIMPLE list. Absolutely NOT a slideshow--minimize the clicking and realize who your friends are. And PLEASE put average pricing information for EVERY bottle of wine. Make it a pleasure instead of a drag to use your site and benefit from it.
